Nina Ottosson Puzzle Toys - Levels of Difficulty Explained

Which difficulty level should I choose for my pet?

• Think about crossword puzzles for us humans, we need to start on an easier one to understand the concept.
• Step by step as we understand the puzzle concept we can advance to more difficult versions.
• If we start too difficult, we will be frustrated and give up.
• A pet who doesn't understand how a puzzle works, may become destructive towards the puzzle.
• Their instinct may make them start chewing their way into the treats, instead of working for them.
• If we don't teach them the playing rules and how the puzzle works their chewing instincts may kick in.
• You will need patience to teach them how to solve the puzzle.

Levels of Difficulty Explained
